Halal food

Halal food refers to food permissible under Islamic law. It involves specific guidelines, such as animals being slaughtered humanely and in a manner that ensures the blood is fully drained. Certain ingredients, like pork and alcohol, are prohibited. Halal certification ensures that food complies with these standards, providing assurance to Muslim consumers. The concept emphasizes purity, ethical treatment of animals, and adhering to religious principles, making halal food distinct in preparation and sourcing compared to general dietary practices.
